BMW 328 Hommage

BMW has gone back to the future to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the 328 sports car with its latest concept.


Unveiled at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este event in Italy, the 328 Hommage harks back to the legendary BMW.
With its leather bonnet straps, distinctive wheels and the return of the more traditional, vertical kidney grille, it harks back to the era of its iconic predecessor. A marked absence of doors and a split windscreen are also nods towards the 328 racing car of the mid-1930s, which at 780kg, weighed as much as an early Lotus Elise.


The 328 Hommage’s thoroughly modern body is created using carbonfibre-reinforced plastic (CRP), however, and is wholly removed from its thirties forebear, instead pointing the way forward for BMW construction in the future.
